Do you want Pogba for £100 million?

Why is everyone worrying about him finishing his (obviously planned) holidays?

United have bent over backwards and sideways financially to secure the services of the best young midfielder in the world.

What do you want us to tell him? "Sod your holiday mate, jump on the first plane to Manchester and sign....muppet's aren't sure whether to unzip or not!"
Yes - given the amount of money we are about to pay him, that would be a perfectly reasonable request!
 
Wasn't there a lot of chat last year about Chelsea getting off to that rotten start because they started pre-season late? Wonder how happy Jose is with getting Pogba late?

Jose was the one who gave Chelsea players a longer break, iirc. They just ended up taking the piss by coming back out of shape.
 
Just to update, last night we acquired a new member called "Bananna Infused Turd Hair". Shame about the spelling mistake, but there you go, that's muppetry for you.

I had to check as I thought you were joking :lol:
 
I can't believe this hasn't been concluded yet. If it's all done and dusted as all the different media outlets report, surely it would have been announced. At least Juve would ASAP.

And no, I don't believe it's because we're not going to announce it "because it would steal the limelight from Rooney's testimonial" and different sponsor related reasons.
 
He was gone from the Juventus shop on my browser too.

Haven't seen it mentioned yet, IIRC because we're listed on the NYSE it can't be announced to the general public etc until after its announced there, and that can only happen during trading hours I think, so not at weekends or during the morning UK time.

Wouldn't bet on that.
 
Zidane doing Zidane things :lol::lol:

At least we don't need translation for his next press-conference, "(Insert player name) is a very, very good player. Obviously, Real wants best players, but he is a (insert club name) player"
 
So do people think it could be announced today then?
Maybe, maybe not. To be fair, I just don't see why people keep guessing in here. Nobody knows when it's being announced - not even Di Marzio. All I know is that it's starting to be a little annoying/strange that it hasn't been announced yet if it really is so close to being a done deal. Especially as we're getting close to the start of the seasons. It is surely in Mourinho's interest to get this deal done asap. And I don't think that Pogba being on holiday is a factor. We could easily announce a deal subject to a medical - or even make him pass the medical in the US.

Yeah but didn't he normally always have pretty intense pre-seasons? Was kind of famous for it. He won't be happy not having his full squad assembled.
 
I think with this being such a massive signing, they will want him in Manchester first, doing all possible media and sponsor work in conjunction with the signing. This is the kind of statement-making, attention-grabbing move that Woodward sells to sponsors and a simple "subject to medical" type announcement won't have the same impact as a full media-friendly mega announcement would. They've probably got the whole social media team working on the hashtag as we speak.
 
If it's not resolved within this week, then move on to the next target. Pogba is good, but team cohesiveness is more important, particularly with a new manager in charge. It's bad enough that we have such a short preseason, we don't need another road block by having to implement such a player. If Pigba really wants this move, he starts pushing for it. If he's just as happy staying at Juve, then no hard feelings but isn't worth pursuing it any longer.
 
We all know that the reason why this is getting delayed is cause Ed wants first 1000 pages in this thread.

And how would moving for another player solve the issue of having to implement him at a late stage?

He is on holiday until next week. What exactly do you expect to be happening right now.
